I’m honestly at a loss for words trying to describe how special the book launch party was yesterday. My heart is still so full. This event was everything I dreamed it could be, and that’s because of the incredible community that surrounds me.
Thank you, Emily Starr, for your beautiful vision and for bringing together the dream team who helped make this day come alive. The scavenger hunt was epic, and the kids’ smiles said it all. The cake from Sweetheart Bakery was absolutely perfect and delicious. Truly a showstopper.
Megan Peters, thank you for ALL your talent. Your eye for décor is unmatched! The ambiance you created was superb. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pieces from your home, for the stunning charcuterie board, and for the delicious cookies. Everything you touched was magic.
Erica Peters, thank you for the chexaroos, the chex mix, and all the delicious treats you contributed. You’ve been such a huge cheerleader; I think you might be president of the Hank Club at this point!
Kristin Naeve, thank you for all the paper products, beverages, and for cheering on this book from day one.
Danika Perron, thank you for sharing your talents once again and capturing the moments so beautifully. These memories mean the world.
Denise Schroeder , thank you for the use of the building. It was the perfect space; the kids could run and play, and the adults could connect and celebrate.
And to the entire community: thank you for your love for Hank the Bank. Seeing this dream embraced so wholeheartedly is surreal. The kids had an epic time, and that was our biggest goal.
